(a) Probability density functions of the normalized magnetic field-line curvature, κlc, from simulations with different δB0/B0. Power-law slopes κ+1 and κ−2.5 are shown for reference. (b) Probability density functions of the normalized magnetic field-line contraction, (vE · κ)lc/c, for the same set of simulations, with symmetric Pareto distribution fits plotted as dashed lines.
